In 1902 the community of Bishopville had grown to the point that they needed a church. So the ladies had tea meetings for the community to raise funds to build the church. Money and labor was donated and the church was built. On January 4th, 1903 it was dedicated to the Lord. As someone said that day, when asked to describe the church. “It has seating for 100 comfortably. The walls are sheathed and painted a cream color. The pews are comfortable, the aisles and pulpit nicely completed. A chandelier consisting of 12 oil lamps gracing the ceiling, and 2 matching sconces on the walls.” The chandelier came from the Churchill house, what is now the Hantsport Community Center, believed to have been given by the Churchill family. The church was open for summer services and special occasions.
